       provided by package ftp to allow the retrieval of urls using the ftp schema.

API

       ::ftp::geturl url
              This command can be used by the generic command ::uri::geturl (See package uri)  to

              directory
                     A listing of the contents of the directory in key value notation  where  the
                     file name is the key and its attributes the associated value.
